Merging Projects

Multiple Projects are created for a number of reasons; the user forgets a Project already exists, the user needs to add a video to a Project they aren't a member of, etc.

Merging Projects can be used to move all of the Shows, Reservations, Blogs, Wiki and any other content you've enabled to be managed by Orgnaic Groups to another group.  The author, post date, and all other information about the posts remain the same, but the group of users with permission to modify the project changes.

To merge a project, while logged in a user with Content Administration privledges, navigate to the Project you'd like to merge.  Click the Edit tab.  Click Delete at the bottom of the page.  You will then be presented with 4 options for dealing with the posts in that group...

Do nothing - Do not use this option.  It will eventually be removed.  Nodes will be orphaned.

Delete all group posts which don't also belong to another group. - Only use this option if the Project's Producer requests it and the stations has approved it.  Since most content is licensed with a Creative Commons Share-alike license, a station is under no legal obligation to remove it.

Move all group posts to the group listed below. - This moves the content and the information about who authored it, but the author won't necessarily have access to the group.

Move all group posts and memberships to the group listed below. - This moves all content and adds authors of the nodes being moved as members of the Project the nodes are merged into.
